And remember, the *reason* PA were proscribed is because they *embarrassed* the government by showing how easy it was to throw red paint over an RAF plane.

Until they did that, nobody was calling them “terrorists”.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Why do we love superheroes? Hop on over to my website for one possible answer (and, if you're so inclined, support the worthy Kickstarter that inspired the essay).

“I mean, your society’s broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.”

A pleasure to talk to Susana about these books; we’re very proud! All three first collected editions are now on sale.

I chatted with editor Chris Conroy about DC's first three Absolute trades for Publisher's Weekly!

My favorite thing Conroy said? He thinks superhero comics art is at a "generational" turning point — and Absolute was DC's attempt to get ahead of the wave. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

DC Comics Sees An ‘Absolute’ Success

The comics giant has three new books featuring familiar superheroes on the shelves this month—but the origin stories within are anything but familiar. DC executive editor Chris Conroy explains why the...

If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.

Trump on TruthSocial: The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future. We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.
